ADVERTISING STEND.

Dflghia! no. 1,035,394, dated July 12, 1927, Serial no. 733,525, filed August 22, 1924. Application for i reissue filed September 6, 192?. Serial No.'2'17,882.

This invention has reference to structures fbr display purposes of the type generally, known as lawn or sidewalk stands adapted tow-support plates provided with advertising nlltter. p

he object of the said invention is to pro. vi such a stand of a very durablenature which may be eheaplyconstructed and which will su port an advertising plate, more pertieuhri a circular plate, ortwo of said plates I to back, in a manner whereby the upper edges of the said plate or plates, which are very often prone to corrosive action of the weather are protectively housed. It is also an object of the said invention to provide a-support for such plate or plates whlch will be both light and strong and not liable to warping, and which is particularly ada ed for the reception and firm securt ing of such plate or plates in position thereon; and a still further object is to provide a device of this type wherein advantage is taken of the space beneath said plate or lates for additional displaypurposes t0- get er with a bracing of the frame to prevent distortion of the vertical legs thereof. Further objects subsidiary to or resulting from the aforesaid objects, or from the con- 7 struction or operation of the invention as it may be carried into effect, will become apparent as the said invention is hereinafter further disclosed.

In carryin the said invention into eflect I may provi e a novel construction and arran ement of parts more particularly descri ed and ascertained hereinafter, by way of example having reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lawn or sidewalk stand embodying the said invention; v v

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same, and

Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 1, on

a smaller scale, showing a frame adapted for rectangular plates. 1

Similar characters of reference indicate similar parts in both figures of the drawing.

1 and 2 are angle irons forming the base and rovided with braces 3 and 4 which assist 1n the su porting of a frame 5 on the said base. This frame 5 is of an inverted U-shaped configuration having a curved upper portion and downwardly. extending integral legs, the extremities of which rest on the members 1 and 2 of the'base.

This frame ,5 isinwardly webbed being shown as constructed of T-iron, an 6 indicates the internal web of the frame, 7 and 8 being the flanges of the said T-iron.

Secured to the curved portion of the said web f the frame are circular advertising plates 9 and 10 on opposite sides thereof, the up er peri heries of which are protectively oused ii of the flanges 7 and 8 of the said frame so that such edges are guarded from attack by is provided with hooks 12 upon which is suspended a further advertising plate 13 as shown. i

To prevent warping of the frame 5 as a eneath the curved portions result of stresses set up in the bending thereof to shape, I provide tie members 14 and 15 extending between the angle irons 1 and 2 near their extremities.

In the modified form, Figure 3, I illus- I trate a frame 16 of T-1ron the web being notched as at 17 to permit of angular corners being formed and the protective function of the flanges being still maintained.

Such a device as that described may be manufactured cheaply and is particularly adapted to be shipped in knockdown COIldltion, and when assembled and installed is extremely durable lending itself to the very effective display of advertising matter. The protection. afforded to the circular advertising plates increases their life and prevents marring of the marginal surface of the advertising matter displayed thereon; and this invention may be developed within the scope of the following claims without departing fromthe essential t di . .7 'flh p fi fram H m 1PM .I t i 1 M fl me SP d' inwardlyz z P231011, gm ends 311 said guppog, tot'eupstan" portions saidbase'andubncesconneet fi M3 1 L0! said and to sand 1",; against-the inwardly 0 ona pieck inverted fram eprbv ifieliwith tendinggirtinit greet u .7 ipwaraly thereot, said ,In testlmony whereofl am: my si ature.
